Tawny Ballard Photography

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

I do so much more than take photos. I believe in giving you an unmatched experience so that you are taken care of from inquiry to delivery of your final gallery and beyond. I do so much more than show up on your wedding day and snap some photos. My heart and soul are in this with you. As an LGBTQ+ person, I know the importance of accepting couples of all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. I’m an inclusive wedding photographer who believes LOVE IS LOVE. Featured in Vogue, Brides, Equally Wed, and more.
